Bawag Reportedly Ends Talks to Buy Finance Ireland Without Deal BAWAG Group AG (WBAG:BG) has ended talks to buy nonbank lender Finance Ireland (Finance Ireland Plc) without a deal, according to sources. The development comes as the Vienna-based group is known to be continuing to pursue PTSB, the 57% State-owned bank. The reasons for the breakdown in talks between Bawag and the owners of Finance Ireland, led by US investment group Pimco, are not clear. Spokesmen for Finance Ireland and Pimco declined to comment, while representatives for Bawag did not respond to requests for comment. Online publication the Currency first reported in January that Bawag was in exclusive negotiations to purchase Finance Ireland, a provider of car, commercial property, agri and small-business loans, for between EUR 250 million and EUR 300 million. PTSB had previously made a takeover approach for Finance Ireland in late 2024 to reduce its dependence on income from mortgage lending, The Irish Times reported last April. Sources said at the time that PTSB remained interested in doing a deal. PTSB chief executive Eamonn Crowley described Finance Ireland as a fine business when asked by reporters on the approach last May, but declined to be drawn further. The overtures had gone nowhere by the time PTSB put itself up for sale in October. Sources said last month that PTSB is targeting late March for second-round takeover offers, with Bawag and New York investment firm Centerbridge Partners among parties still circling the State-controlled bank. Lone Star, the Texas-based private equity giant led by Irish passport holder John Grayken, is also among those that committed resources to assessing a PTSB offer. Goldman Sachs is running the sale process for PTSB. Announcement • Feb 27
